saddlebinding
Precision's new Mueller-Martini saddlebinder has given us new capabilities to add to our bindery. With updated feeder pockets we can handle high folio (preferable), low folio, and no folio signatures better than ever before. This machine also utilizes a cover feeder with scoring, and a 4th and 5th knife to allow for 2 up trimming. These new capabilities bring us up to date and will allow us to offer our customers a broader range of abilities.
